Clean Bandit

Hey baby, I'm back.

I wake up and get dressed in shorts and a cropped sweater. I put my hair in a bun and grab my keys.

I leave a note for Harry on the counter and leave for work.

I get to the YouTube space and see Shelby Church and Ayydubs building a set.

"Hey guys! Need help?" I ask them.
"Can you help me by being in a vlog? I have like no footage."
"Yeah!"

Alex whips out he camera and starts talking.

"Hey guys, so we are currently at the YouTube space building a set and I ran into this chick." She points the camera at me and I wave and smile.

"Aka the best person ever!" I say.
"OMG yes, when I was on vacation, she edited my vlogs for me."

"Ha, well I have to get to work." I say shrugging.
"Say bye to a million people first."
"Bye millions of people."

"Thanks, oh, Shelby needs help with the lights."
"Ok."

When I get home I see Harry sitting on the couch with his guitar and a notepad. I walk in and he doesn't notice me.

"I love the way you look right through me,

Shake me up and calm me down,

You talk like nobody's listening and I love the way you frown. Ugh no, that's terrible..."

"I think it's great." I sit next to him kissing his cheek.
"Ew you heard that?" He kisses me back.
"Yes. And it was wonderful."

He puts his guitar away and looks at me and smiles.

"You're beautiful."
"Thank you." I blush and he takes my hand.
"We should go out to dinner."
"Where?"

"Lendezaro's?"
"OMG I love the place, yassssss."
"Ok, grab your phone ma lady."

When we arrive at the restaurant, Harry takes my hand and smiles at me when we are seated.

"I'm glad you're not a big clubbing gal." Harry says while looking at his menu.
"I hate clubs."
"Good, so do I."

I chuckle and look back to my menu.

When we get back to my apartment, I hear footsteps.

"Harry what was that?"
"What was what?"
"I heard footsteps."
"No you didn't, just calm do-"

"I need you to stop talking and give me the girl." A man appears from behind the sofa and puts his hand around Harry's neck.

"Let go of him!" I scream.
"Guys get her." He says and two more men appear and take my struggling arms.

"Who are you?! Get out of here!"
"Do you want him to live Miss?"
"Yes!"
"Then stop talking and stop struggling."

They tie a choke on his mouth and wrap his arms up.

He looks at me with worried eyes and I feel a tear drip as they guide me out to wherever they're taking me.

"Why do need me?"
"Josh's orders. Ge gets out of jail tomorrow and wants you here waiting for him."
"No."
One guy slaps me.
"You don't tell us no."
They bring me into a large house. Its beautiful really, huge, clean.

They put in a large bedroom and point to the closet and draws.

"Those are yours. Do not leave this room until we come to get you."

I doing this to keep Harry safe.

"Wait..." I say and they both give me dirty looks.
"What's going to happen to Harry?"
"Oh," they laugh together. "We'll take care of him." One says and I glare at them.

They leave me and I sit on the overwhelmingly large bed.

I can't stop myself from crying. I finally got Harry back and he's been taken away from me. The man that caused my scar is going to keep me hostage and I'm scared as fuck.

I close my eyes and try to imagine Harry's arms around me.

I wake up to rough chuckling.

Josh.

He stands at the foot of the bed and stares at me.

"Hey baby. I'm back."
